00:00John Elway, the most gifted quarterback to ever play in the National Football League.

00:05I can still remember feeling that responsibility.

00:08He can do it all.

00:09And the expectation.

00:10This is his third loss in the Super Bowl.

00:12I had to sacrifice everything to be the best.

00:18Everything changed for Colorado in 1983.

00:21Been the most spoken about name in American sports.

00:23John Elway.

00:24John Elway.

00:25First time I saw him practice, I'm going, man, this guy's a freak.

00:28He is going to be one of the greats of all time, I think.

00:31He got the nickname the Duke of Denver.

00:33The Duke of Denver.

00:33Duke of Denver.

00:34He's got the ball.

00:35Touchdown.

00:36He was shy, sweet.

00:38He's not neat and pigeon-toed.

00:40And all of a sudden, I'm dating this superstar.

00:43His first year.

00:46I'd never seen anybody get beat around like he did.

00:50Everyone was expecting John was going to take us to the top right away.

00:54With Dan's offense, it was different than I was used to.

00:57Bam, bam.

00:59My head was spinning.

01:00Was he overblown by the media?

01:02Part of the growing pains of coming into the NFL.

01:04People have no idea how hard this guy worked to be who he was.

01:10For me, looking over the last 50 years, my whole life, you know, winning was the most

01:16important thing.

01:18I think that was at the sacrifice to my family.

01:20Depending on whether he won or lost, there was definitely a mood shift.

01:24I used to be pretty intimidated with him.

01:26This comes with the territory.

01:28My parents' marriage was crumbling.

01:30He really started to pick up on the gravity of the situation.

01:33We got death threats.

01:34All the focus and the media and everything was on John.

01:37He helped a city transform itself.

01:40Well, let's be real.

01:42He was going to have to win a Super Bowl to be coronated.

01:46John took it personally.

01:48He had one goal.

01:49The frustration level grew.

01:50Before he's ever going to be considered a great quarterback, he has to win one of these

01:54things.

01:54Those are the sacrifices that athletes make to be great.

01:58Touchdown Denver!

01:59Greatness is more than just a performance on the field.

02:02My dad always said, you can't take the easy way out.

02:08So this was the moment.

02:10From over.

02:24God bless you.
